Concern

Muffler may become detached

Defect, as DVSA words it

The plug welds that secure the muffler bracket to the muffler body can crack allowing the muffler to become loose in the bracket. After continued use the muffler could separate from the main exhaust pipe creating the potential for an accident resulting in injury.

Remedy, as DVSA words it

Recall affected machines to check the bracket welds and to add a damper or if necessary replacing the muffler.

What changed since we first read it

Nothing yet. The wording has been the same on every read since 4 September 2026. The file is read again every day; if DVSA rewrites the defect, remedy or concern, the old and new text will appear here with both dates.

The same recall in other registers

No match found in the American, Canadian or European registers by manufacturer reference, because the reference DVSA lists is too short to match safely. A recall can exist abroad under a different reference; this site only claims a match when the reference agrees.
